Summary
Kingston Intermediate is a public elementary school in Kingston, MA, serving 645 students in grades 3–6 as the upper-elementary school of the Kingston district, with Kingston Elementary (K–2) just 0.14 miles away. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 359 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — 60th percentile, 3 stars — and the district ranked 157 of 351. That position is remarkably stable: since 2015–2016 the school has generally sat between the 55th and 64th percentiles with 3 stars, so this is a solidly above-average school rather than a fast riser or decliner. It scores above the state in all three tested subjects: 44.77% proficient in ELA, 47.65% in math, and 46.00% in science, versus state figures of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%.
Results vary by grade. Grade 3 ELA is a standout at 53.01%, and grades 5 and 6 math exceed 50% proficiency, well above state. Grades 4 and 5 ELA sit near 40.8%, only modestly above state. Science is the volatility story: after 59.42% in 2022–2023 and 61.18% in 2024–2025, it fell to 46.00% in 2025–2026 — likely a grade-5 cohort change rather than a schoolwide collapse, but worth watching. Among nearby schools, Alden School (Duxbury) and Dennett Elementary (Plympton) outperform Kingston in all three subjects. Kingston beats Hobomock Elementary (Pembroke) in ELA and science, is broadly comparable to or stronger than several Plymouth schools in math, and is well ahead of Hedge in ELA and math.
Notably, Kingston Intermediate achieves this with the lowest per-pupil spending among nearby schools with data — $12,467, compared with roughly $13,135 to $20,616 elsewhere — and one of the higher student-teacher ratios at 15. Subgroup rankings are uneven: low-income students rank at the 71st percentile (4 stars, up from 61st) and English learners at the 86th percentile (4 stars), while special education students rank at the 37th percentile (2 stars), down from the 61st percentile a year earlier. Keep caveats in mind: free/reduced-lunch data are suppressed, spending figures date to 2020–2021, and some 2025–2026 subgroup data are missing.
